Trail stewardship is an excellent way to leave your mark and make a beneficial change on the watershed for future generations of hikers, bikers, and all nature lovers. Volunteer today and help preserve our watershed for decades to come!
This trail crew day will take place on remote trails where we will work on brushing, water bar maintenance, storm damage repairs, and drainage improvements. The day will start with a safety talk & project overview at 9 a.m. and then we will hike to the site. Volunteers should be prepared for strenuous activity in a remote location and should have the ability to hike 5-6 miles round-trip.
All experience levels are welcome, whether you are a complete beginner to trail work or a professional. With that said trail events are suitable for ages 13 and up. Parental supervision is required for volunteers under age 16.
RSVP IS REQUIRED! All first-time volunteers must also sign our Volunteer Service Agreement, and all volunteers under 18 must have the form signed by a parent or guardian. Please note that lunch WILL NOT be provided for this event.
Maximum number of volunteers is 15. Further details will be shared closer to the date. Parking passes, tools, gloves, snacks and water are provided to volunteers. Please dress for variable weather and bring a water bottle and lunch.

Description
The MMWD volunteer program strives to connect people to nature and their water source by offering hands-on activities on the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed.
Volunteers are currently engaged in habitat restoration, trails maintenance, environmental education, biological monitoring and geographic information systems mapping.
Through their experiences volunteers gain skills, become stewards, contribute to the health and safety of the watershed and have fun while doing so.
MMWD manages 18,500 acres of land in the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed and 2,750 acres adjacent to the Nicasio and Soulajule reservoirs in west Marin. The Mt. Tamalpais Watershed has been identified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a key component of a biosphere reserve, a designation given to biodiversity hot spots like the Amazon rainforest.
